Although many health personnel know Resveratrol, but in reality, many people may not be fully aware of the origin and production process of this substance.
In general, there are two main sources of resveratrol used in dietary supplements:
Resveratrol from natural plants (Natural Extract)
Extracted from plants that naturally contain this substance, such as
red grapes
mulberry
Some plants in the Polygonum group
Extraction from natural plants Often get substances in A form that is close to the nature of food (food matrix) which contains other polyphenols as well, creating synergy and being able to be used well by the body.
Synthetic resveratrol (Synthetic)
Some products work Chemical synthesis in the laboratory To obtain a resveratrol molecule with the same structure
The advantage is
Can produce a lot
Cheaper price
But there are no other naturally occurring plant compounds involved.
Issues that are often discussed in research Many groups of researchers are interested in the natural form of plants. (plant-derived)
synthetic form
There are differences in bioavailability (absorption) and context of co-compounds (co-compounds) in plants
However, scientifically, this still needs to be considered. Extraction quality purity and the quantity used together
Summary of important ideas
Just knowing the word resveratrol does not equate to complete understanding. Because in reality there are still many important details such as
source
Extraction process
Form of substance (natural vs synthetic)
absorption in the body (bioavailability)
Therefore, for those working in the health field, understanding both biochemistry, plant sources and production technology It will help to better evaluate the quality of the product.
